The Community, Seniors & Liaison Committee of the Philippine Canadian Charitable Foundation (PCCF) said during an interview with Front Page Philippines TV that the PCCF executive committee is doing this to help ease the burden on admission cost for families wishing to join in the celebration of Filipino culture, heritage and sports at the biggest annual summer indoor event.

Rosemer is the widow of Filipino Canadian Senator Tobias Enverga, Jr. — who shortly, before his death, made representation with all levels of government in Canada for the declaration of June as Filipino Heritage Month.
